GREETINGS FROM THE NEW ICADS BOARD!

 

Dear ICADS Members and Friends,

​

Your newly elected ICADS Board is off and running.

​

It was wonderful seeing so many of you in October for Art Deco Centennial celebrations, attended by so many fellow Art Deco enthusiasts, a potent reminder of the international community we have built with shared interests in appreciation, education and preservation.

​

When spending time together, we realize that many Deco enthusiasts don’t know what ICADS does. One of the goals of this Board is to better engage with the members of all ICADS societies. To that end, initiatives we will offer this year include:

​

• Free virtual programming (aired live and recorded) to members and friends of all ICADS societies,

• Offer volunteer opportunities to serve on ICADS committees,

• Continue to offer virtual Deco Dialogues with Member Society heads,

• Invite all members to participate in World Art Deco Day activities in April,

• Be an important resource to advocate for important preservation causes in your communities,

• The Global Calendar of posting of activities offered by Deco societies around the world that members of ICADS societies can access, often at the same price enjoyed by members of the host society.

 

We look forward to serving you, and we hope to see and hear from you in the coming months!

 

Sincerely,

Steve Knight (Washington, DC)
